“I am also in love with this program. So we have come up with an alternative.”
Go Ae-ju and Choi Min-seong looked at the documents.
“These are all agricultural masters.”
“Yes, these are the masters who will be in charge of hosting for me.”
It was something I could do for them. From Hwang Yu-shin, a master of dried persimmons to Im Si-baek of green tea, more than 20 masters were recruited.
Go Ae-joo asked with surprised eyes.
“Did you hire all of these people?”
“I mobilized all my contacts.”
“Thank you so much for taking such care.”
to let u know that i been through a lot then i been going non stop with this practice for nothing
Many of the broadcasters quit in the middle due to personal circumstances or unsatisfactory reasons.
The hardest part then is the writers. Because you have to hire new people.
It’s even harder if you’re an agricultural expert.
“Then it would be ok to do one more last minute, right?”
Go Ae Joo asked with twinkling eyes.
“Yeah, a minute or so will be fine.”
She seemed reassured then.
“I want to ask you a different request…”
PD Choi Min-seong looked at me and said. From the moment he brought up the story of Antarctica, his interest seemed to be elsewhere.
“You tell me.”
“Can we film the installation of salad containers in Antarctica?”
It’s a greed that a broadcaster’s PD should have.
“Isn’t PD Choi busy?”
“Of course, it will be difficult for me to go. I’m going to talk to the production country and suggest a planned documentary.”
It felt good. The installation of salad containers in Antarctica seemed to have a ripple effect if aired through a documentary.
“I am good.”
“Really? thank you.”
PD Choi Min-seong was very happy.
“But it doesn’t end with me being good. You need to get permission from the Rural Development Administration.”
“I will look into the matter.”
There was confidence on his face. It seemed like he would get permission somehow.
“It’s a pity that my hands and feet have gotten along well so far.”
Go Ae-joo made a sad expression.
“There will be a better chance.”
“I think so. And I will decide the next performer.”
“I will do whatever the writer wants.”

An announcement was made about the Antarctic project.
There were also farmers from Jirisan in the nominated bidder.
A total of five companies were nominated, including farmers from Jirisan.
I researched the companies that would compete with us.
In case u have any questions u can refer to uwumtl dot com for references
None of them produced salad containers. Most of the companies were just starting hydroponics.
However, there was no tension.
Han Ki-tak carefully looked at the prepared documents.
In the document, the technical skills and expertise of the farmers in Jirisan were described in detail.
The document also contained information about a salad container designed by Min Yo-han and Lee Jang-woo.
It was a salad container to be installed in Antarctica.
Security matters were blinded.
Finally, there is the presentation.
I took the presentation materials and went to the Rural Development Administration.
“I am Kim Deok-myeong, the representative of the Jirisan farmers. Let’s start the presentation.”
Salad containers made by Jirisan farmers appeared on the screen.
It was the first salad container produced by Jirisan farmers.
The judges looked carefully at the salad container reflected on the screen.
“The salad container we developed has been steadily upgraded.”
I flipped the screen. A solar panel was mounted on the roof of the salad container.
“The salad container loses all its functionality when power is lost. Solar panels solved that problem.”
The screen went over.
The Salad Container Manager screen appears.
[Light 8,500lux]
[Temperature 18 degrees]
[Relative Humidity Range 65%]
[Carbon dioxide concentration 400ppm]
[Normal water flow]
[Nutrition fluid normal]
“The salad container can use an application to control its internal state.”
“Is the screen you are looking at working?”

One of the judges asked, out of curiosity.
“Yeah, it’s actually a working salad container.”
Everyone looked surprised.
I continued with the presentation.
“Recently, we have grown other crops in salad containers.”

On the screen, sprouted ginseng was seen growing.
I talked about the endless possibilities of salad containers.
Finally said
“With our technology, we can grow salads and sprout ginseng. The Korean Air Base in Antarctica will also eat fresh vegetables.”
After the presentation, the judges asked questions.
Answered all questions without hesitation.

It is the day of the announcement of the results of the Antarctic project proposal.
The results haven’t come out yet.
I expected it to happen, but I was nervous.
To relieve tension, I visited the stores of farmers in Jirisan.
In case u have any questions u can refer to uwumtl dot com for references
Noh Hae-mi’s face was remembered.
“What’s going on?”
“Today is the result announcement day.”
“Haemi-san knew it too.”
“Of course, I’ve been waiting for today.”
In case u have any questions u can refer to uwumtl dot com for references
Noh Hae-mi made eye contact with Kim Kkot-nim’s grandmother. Grandma nodded.

No matter how you look at it, it didn’t seem like the Antarctic project was what they were talking about.
“What is the result announcement?”
“Did you forget, sir?”
“What did I forget?”
“Cheese from Jirisan farmers.”

Only then did I find out
Today is the day to announce the results of our agricultural special product idea contest.
Coincidentally, it overlapped with the announcement of the results of the Antarctic Project.
“The results are out.”
Haemi Noh said while looking at the laptop screen.
We all stared at the screen together.
“We are the target.”
In case u have any questions u can refer to uwumtl dot com for references
Noh Hae-mi raised her arms and shouted.
The lotus root cookie made by Lee Ki-seok received the Excellence Award.
Then I heard a vibration on my phone.
The results of the Antarctic project have also arrived.
[Congratulations. Announcing that the Jirisan farmers have been selected as the implementers of this Antarctic project]
last broadcast
The Antarctic Project has begun.
The first thing I did was make a salad container.
People travel by plane, but salad containers have to be shipped by boat.
It took time to send salad containers to Antarctica. That’s why you have to create it first.
I was in charge of this production process. Everything had to be perfect.
If the container you worked on is sent away, it is irreversible.
Lee Jang-woo, Lee Dong-chun, and Min Yo-han were also mobilized to work together.
“What are you going to do with the inner wall of the salad container?”
asked Lee Jang-woo.
The salad container had to be made for the Antarctic environment. Antarctica is a place where the temperature drops to -40°C. Heat loss should be kept to a minimum.
“I’m thinking of attaching urethane inside.”
“How thick are you planning to do it?”
Then Min Yo-han handed him a document.
“It is the result of a simulation simulation.”
These are the results of calculating heat loss according to temperature.
According to the simulation results, the urethane thickness had to be at least 20 cm.
“The inside of the container will be very narrow.”
“If you don’t insulate this much, you might have trouble growing your crops.”
The salad container was 40 feet.
It is 12 meters long and 2.6 meters high.
The facility for growing crops was built in three tiers.
There are a total of 400 mediums where crops can be grown.
400 salads per container could be harvested.
If urethane is attached to the inside, the inside is inevitably narrow.
“Will the yield be a little lower because of the insulation? May I know how much it is?”
“There will be less than 100 badges.”
I tapped the calculator.
With that amount, one Antarctic researcher can consume 100g of fresh vegetables per day.
It wasn’t a large amount, but it wasn’t enough.
There were no problems feeding the researchers.
I looked at the LED lights on the salad container.
The combination of fluorescent lamps and LEDs compensated for the lack of light sources.
“It has to be done within the scheduled time. We have to ship the salad container first.”
I made eye contact with Lee Jang-woo.
“I’ll be on time for sure, don’t worry.”
Lee Jang-woo made a determined expression. Lee Dong-chun and Min Yo-han also nodded as if there was no problem.

There was a call from Nam Nam Nam, manager of the Rural Development Administration.
He didn’t say anything specific. He said he had an urgent business.
I thought it was just a place for an intermediate check.
In case u have any questions u can refer to uwumtl dot com for references
Nam Nam Nam was waiting for me in the conference room.
He had a hard face as usual.
“I should first say I’m sorry.”
“What do you mean?”
“You need to reduce one of the people going to Antarctica.”
After sending the salad container to Antarctica, my colleagues and I were scheduled to move to Antarctica with the crew of the South Pole Korean Air Base.
Among the peasants of Mt. Jiri, the three members who decided to go to the South Pole were me, Min Yo-han, and Lee Jang-woo.
“An additional member of the Daehan Base has been added.”
The Daehan base crew took precedence over the Jirisan farmer. Jirisan farmers were supposed to stay there for three months with a salad container installed.
The crew of the Antarctic Korean Air Base had to stay there for 12 months.
The members of the South Pole Korean Air Base consisted of a general affairs group in charge of communications and medical care, a maintenance group in charge of mechanical facilities and power generation, and a research group in charge of meteorological, atmospheric, and marine research.

Once a year, takeovers are made by sector.
“One more botanist was included in the crew. We apologize for not being able to guarantee the number of people we promised.”
Antarctica was located 12,740 km from Seoul. The route was not common either.
I had to travel by private plane from Punta Arenas, Chile.
It was impossible to even enter by ordinary aircraft.
“Mr. Kim Deok-myeong must go unconditionally.”
In case u have any questions u can refer to uwumtl dot com for references
Namjoon looked into my eyes and said. If only one person has to go, I have to go.
“Didn’t you get a call from the broadcasting station by any chance?”
“I heard that a letter of cooperation has arrived.”
“What is the broadcast team going to do?”
“I understand that the Korea Institute of Ocean Science and Technology rejected it.”
The Antarctic Korea Base was built for special purposes such as climate change and ocean research.
Even the broadcasting station did not easily allow it.
In case u have any questions u can refer to uwumtl dot com for references
Nam Nam Nam said the last thing.
“And there is training before going to Antarctica.”
“Training?”
It’s the first thing you hear. There was no mention of training.
“I got it today too. This is a new training.”
“What kind of training is this?”
“It’s survival training.”
This is because of the disaster that occurred at the base in Antarctica last year. There was an incident where one of the crew at the Korean Air Base in Antarctica died in a distress accident.
It was the training that occurred because of that incident.
“A colleague who is going with Kim Deok-myeong must also attend.”

Namnam Nam finished his speech and left the conference room.

Only one technician was allowed to go to Antarctica with me.

On the way out of the meeting, PD Choi Min-seong called.
“Do you have time?”
The broadcasting team was told that it was impossible to enter Antarctica.
He also knew the content.
Choi Min-seong asked to meet like a village town.
He said he would come to my place right away.
I decided to take some time.
Choi Min-sung appeared soon. I felt like I was running fast.
He immediately pulled out the towel.
“Even the official document was of no avail, saying that the Antarctic crew came first.”
“It’s unfortunate.”
“So, there is something I want to ask you about, Mr. Kim Deok-myeong.”
“What kind of request?”
PD Choi Min-seong took out a small camera from his bag.
“May I ask for this camera?”
This is the method that Choi Min-seong thought as a solution to the dilemma.
I wanted to pick up my camera. I will be filming the process of installing salad containers in Antarctica.
“I know this is a difficult request. Still, I think it’s helpful for the farmers in Jirisan. What if you think of it as a record and take a picture?”
